It is located along the A9 road, {{convert|0.5|mi}} south of Auckengill and {{convert|7|mi}} south of John O' Groats.[1] It is the location of the Nybster Broch, first excavated by Sir Francis Tress Barry in about 1900.[2] A broch is an Iron Age building that is unique to Scotland. This one was probably built between about 200 BC and 200 AD and re-used during the Pictish period (AD 300 - 800). The Caithness Broch Centre nearby provides an opportunity to learn more about the communities that lived in the brochs, those who excavated them and the communities who are still involved with them today.
